7 benefits of safe, gentle, modern root canal therapy

As a family dentist, Shine Dental Arts offers many services. These services protect the teeth from damage, accurately detect problems, and treat disease and injuries. Ideally, Drs. Vanessa L. Quihuis and Anthony F.R. Quihuis partner with you to prevent the damage that leads to the need for root canal therapy. However, individuals in the Phoenix, Arizona area also have peace of mind knowing that safe, gentle, and precision treatment is nearby when needed. There are at least seven benefits associated with treating root canals promptly at our office in Ahwatukee. 

1 – Symptom relief 

Damage to the inside of a tooth is associated with many undesirable symptoms. Our dentists treat the underlying cause of those symptoms to provide real and sustained relief. Simply put, we get you back to feeling better and like yourself again.

2 – Prevent complications 

When decay goes untreated, complications can arise that affect your whole body; for instance, consider how oral infections can travel to other parts of the face and body. With root canal therapy, we eliminate the infection’s source. The health of your mouth and body is restored and sustained!

3 – Preserve your tooth

At Shine Dental Arts, we offer many advanced options to rebuild and even wholly replace teeth. The fact remains that, despite these advancements, there is no prosthetic tooth that is superior in form and function to a natural, healthy tooth. Removing the damaged tissues means the rest of your tooth is preserved and remains intact. It is effectively like giving your tooth a fresh start, a clean slate, a second chance. 

4 – Avoid extraction 

Preserving the tooth has the additional benefit of avoiding tooth loss. We have rendered the tooth extraction or removal process unnecessary with root canal treatment. The complications associated with tooth loss are avoided, too. 

5 – Restore function, structure

Root canal therapy generally involves applying a dental crown. A tooth treated with root canal therapy may be weak and vulnerable to future damage. By placing a dental crown, we strengthen the tooth. Once the tooth has fully healed, you can freely eat your favorite crunchy foods and enjoy natural functions.  

6 – Restore pride in your smile 

Our team uses high-quality materials like dental porcelain to make restorations like crowns. We can restore the root canal-treated tooth with a porcelain crown that is strong and looks natural. The color of the porcelain can be matched to blend in with the rest of the teeth in your smile. You can feel confident again about the appearance of your teeth. 

7 – Enjoy sustained health 

No further treatment will be necessary with good brushing, flossing, and regular visits to Shine Dental Arts. The American Association of Endodontists reports that root canal treatment has a success rate exceeding 97%. 

Your treatment is in particularly good hands at our office in Ahwatukee. If you are concerned about a tooth or are overdue for a dental checkup, contact our Phoenix, AZ area team at (480) 893-3072 to schedule an appointment today.
